“I thank both of my colleagues for their expression of support for the concept of making sure that CTE is studied. I am just hopeful that we can guarantee, through this amendment, that of that $125 million, some portion of it is set aside for CTE research. The fact that only $2.9 million has gone to CTE research since 2012, and not a dime since 2013, makes me worry that it is not a high priority within the Department. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
